The Mule Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 Quite a collection. Especially DON'T PANIC! Also nothing like a very literal image for SY'S BACK.... Quote
jmjk Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 Mule, I'm not seeing these last two images. Lon--that photo of Peggy Lee tripped my pacemaker. Quote
JSngry Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 (edited) I believe the first LP to be released after Trane died I believe that would be EXPRESSION. But this one might have been the 2nd. Edited July 30, 2003 by JSngry Quote
The Mule Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 Mule, I'm not seeing these last two images. Really? I can. Anybody else not seeing these? Quote
jazzbo Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 They may be taking a lloooooong time to read on my machine. I cheat and view the properties, copy the url, and then add then launch them. When I then return to the page, there they are. Quote
Big Wheel Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 Those images are from Geocities, which prohibits linking to images hosted on its webspace. The reason Mule can see them is because they are already in his browser cache from viewing the pages where the images are located. Quote
jmjk Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 I just followed Lon's directions and now they load up easily. Could be my browser settings. Quote
Joe Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 Not a cover per se, but... And apologies for the size, but... Quote
BruceH Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 Mule, that Kid Ory cover ROCKS! Jazzbo, that Peggy Lee picture ought to be an album cover! Then I could buy the album---ah, strictly cuz I love her music, of course. Quote
The Mule Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 It's the work of Jim Flora. Here's an entire web-site devoted to his very unique style: The Jim Flora Gallery Quote
BruceH Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 Thanks for the link! I think there's a book of covers by artists like Flora. The name of it escapes me right now... Quote
BruceH Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 Okay, the book is called "In the Groove: Vintage Record Graphics, 1940-1960" by Eric Kohler. Just the sort of thing I'd be likely to buy on a whim at Green Apple Books. Reminds you of what was lost, graphically, with the change-over to CD's. Quote
Jim R Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 I've had the Kohler book on display in my living room for a couple of years. It's a nice supplement to the strictly jazz cover art books. This one offers a significant number of images from 78 rpm albums, EP's, and 10" LP's that are otherwise becoming forgotten. Old stuff from Columbia, Decca, Capitol, RCA, etc. The other artists, besides Jim Flora, are Alex Steinweiss, Robert Jones, Rudolph Deharak, Erik Nitsche, David Stone Martin, Burt Goldblatt, Reid Miles, and a few others.

dsgtrane Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 Thanks for bringing up that Beatles one Lon. Where are you finding all these great covers? Quote
